Good question, they will both take out your liver, but there's two factors involved time and quantity. I don't know if too much alcohol in one sitting would damage the liver but too much Tylenol sure would. I think over a shorter amount of time too much acetaminophen will damage the liver faster. They claim the maximum safe daily dose of acetaminophen to be 4000mg.
